Gav Murray, Hive heating director at Centrica New Business Net Zero, has commented on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme figures for July.
Gav said: “The continued increase in applications throughout the summer months, combined with a year-on-year uplift is a clear indication of the commitment households have towards investing in green technology.
“During the summer break, heating our homes is the last thing people want to think about. However, it remains a perfect opportunity for homeowners to upgrade their heating systems and take advantage of grant-funding ahead of the winter season. As more incentives to invest in a heat pump become available, including dynamic tariffs, more homeowners are beginning to recognise the long-term benefits – not only for the planet’s future but also for their energy bills.”
